Image-Guided Radiotherapy Using a Modified Industrial Micro-CT for Preclinical Applications
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Although radiotherapy is a key component of cancer treatment, its implementation into pre-clinical in vivo models with relatively small target volumes is frequently omitted either due to technical complexity or expected side effects hampering long-term observational studies. We here demonstrate how an affordable industrial micro-CT can be converted into a small animal IGRT dev...
متن کاملA fast model for prediction of respiratory lung motion for image-guided radiotherapy: A feasibility study
Background: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of constructing a fast thorax model suitable for simulating lung motion due to respiration using only one CT dataset. Materials and Methods: For each of six patients with different thorax sizes, two sets of CT images were obtained in single-breath-hold inhale and exhale stages in the supine position. The CT images were then ...
متن کاملTransductive Prostate Segmentation for CT Image Guided Radiotherapy
Accurate 3-D prostate segmentation is a significant and challenging issue for CT image guided radiotherapy. In this paper, a novel transductive method for 3-D prostate segmentation is proposed, which incorporates the physician’s interactive labeling information, to aid accurate segmentation, especially when large irregular prostate motion occurs. More specifically, for the current treatment ima...
متن کاملA modified VMAT adaptive radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer patients based on CT-CT image fusion
BACKGROUND To investigate the feasibility and benefits of a modified adaptive radiotherapy (ART) by replanning in the initial CT (iCT) with new contours from a repeat CT (rCT) based on CT-CT image fusion for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients underwent volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine NPC patients underwent VMAT treatment with a rCT at 23rd fraction w...
متن کاملHow does CT image noise affect 3D deformable image registration for image-guided radiotherapy planning?
PURPOSE To measure the sensitivity of deformable image registration to image noise. Deformable image registration can be used to map organ contours and other treatment planning data from one CT to another. These CT studies can be acquired with either conventional fan-beam CT systems or more novel cone-beam CT techniques. However, cone-beam CT images can have higher noise levels than fan-beam CT...
